Ronald,

Try re-downloading your current version of Silverlight and then try the repair option. If it works look for the uninstall option in the “add or remove programs” menu. If it still doesn’t work then using the same version just try reinstalling it

You also need to try to determine which windows update will not install. If indeed it is the latest version of Silverlight, then try to download it separately and install it. If you still cannot have the previous version of Silverlight removed, a final option would be to manually uninstall Silverlight. It would involve deleting the files and folders related to Silverlight. Manually deleting the program files and folders slightly increases the risk of damaging the computers operating system, so it should be done at the user’s risk. It is advisable to create a system restore point just in case anything goes wrong.
